This is a test email from an email address not associated with an account.

@aylward Thanks for trying things.
To everyone: to put things in context, to allow Stephen to first post without an account. I updated the setting associated with `slicer+support@discoursemail.com` to allow anonymous settings:

Why this is needed? The user needs to come to the forum webpage for answers anyway.
Also, I would not like to spend time with answering a question to a user that did not even take the time to sign up.

This is a test done with Ron to emulate the experience/workflow of someone
first downloading Slicer and having a question.

I see. For that we should add a link that posts a new topic in the Support category:
[https://discourse.slicer.org/new-topic?category=support](https://discourse.slicer.org/new-topic?category=support)
We can even pre-populate the topic name or body:
[[https://discourse.slicer.org/new-topic?title=topic%20title&body=topic%20body&category=support](https://discourse.slicer.org/new-topic?title=topic%20title&body=topic%20body&category=support)]
with some more text:
[https://discourse.slicer.org/new-topic?body=Operating%20system:%0ASlicer%20version:%0AExpected%20behavior:%0AActual%20behavior:&category=support](https://discourse.slicer.org/new-topic?body=Operating%20system:%0ASlicer%20version:%0AExpected%20behavior:%0AActual%20behavior:&category=support)

So, to clarify, what you want is to manage subscription purely by email?
With the setting Jc changed, it is possible to post a new topic, but I don’t think it is possible to become a full subscriber without logging in once. If I am reading the description “What are staged users” on [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setup-incoming-emails-e-mail/42026) correctly, then the user will not get any other messages in the category (or Announcements) until they log in once and create a full account.
Just to check, @aylward did you receive any email notice for this thread in Support?
